The Onion (A.V. Club)
While not an overwhelming album, God Bless The Blake Babies certainly suggests that the group is better off together than apart.

God Bless The Blake Babies is more refined, more textured, and more produced than anything from the band's heyday.

Splendid
The band sounds richer, fuller and more confident. Sometimes they also sound a little too slick for their own good -- a nagging concern with "Disappear", among others -- but the studio glitz is matched by artistic maturity.
